There's nothing wrong with it, it's actually good. Your love for them is far more than your anger, this shows.

No , it shows you're kind hearted and care for the people you love the most but there is a thin line and reminder even if you love them endlessly you mustn't give them the power to walk over you because at the end of the day you'll lose pieces of yourself

No, there is not. It's just that you love them too much you easily fogive and forget their mistakes. As long as you're not taken for granted, continue understanding them.

Not at all, I feel like everyone goes through that, where something bad has happened from someone you care about but you can't get mad because you care too much! this all just means you're a great and loving person.

The first step to fixing a problem you feel you may have is admitting it! However the second step is to never use the phrase, 'something wrong with me'. Everyone has flaws, thats what makes us human, you feeling like you can't get angry at people may come from feelings of guilt, or a fear of confrontation rather than physically not being able to. Next time you feel like someone has hurt you, think to yourself how you would react if there could be no consequences, then work from there.

I don't think there's anything wrong with you at all. You don't need to be angry or upset in order to share your emotions with other people. It may just be the type of person you are. Everyone expresses themselves in different ways, and for you, it could just be more honest and heartfelt. I've often found that getting angry can lead to worse situations than if we all calmed down, took a few breaths, and talked it out. Sure, you can't always be happy with someone 24/7. There's going to be conflict, but that conflict may not result in the feeling of anger. It could be more saddening, imply guilt, or even just be the act of separating yourself from said person for a while. There's definitely nothing wrong with you though. c: We're all unique in our own ways, and that makes us beautiful.

Either you are not in touch with your feelings or you're so above the fray that you simply feel compassion for them rather than allowing yourself to imagine that whatever they did to you is about you. You recognize that people usually do what they do because of them - not because of you. You have a high degree of understanding.

It’s not uncommon to be reluctant to get angry with people that you care about. Many of us want to please those we care about and keep the peace. Just be mindful of your boundaries and feelings, so you don’t feel like your own needs go unmet. You and your needs matter just as much as those people who you care about.

I think not being angry is a virtue in itself, but please take care of yourself and don't let others walk all over you. Besides that, I think not geeting angry at people you love can be just natural.

There’s nothing wrong with not being angry at people you care about. We tend to be more lenient with closed ones and sometimes may be afraid to display anger in fear of becoming distant with them. But is important to communicate our feelings in a healthy way.
